This template can be transcluded onto the user talk page of any IP address belonging to a corporation or business. It is not designed for IPs where another shared template (such as {{ISP}}) would serve a better purpose. It provides a warning notice to editors and users from the IP, and categorizes pages to Category:Shared IP addresses used by Wikipedia users.
Usage
{{Shared IP corp|name of company|contact information|host=optional.hostname}}
The second parameter can be used to specify an e-mail address or role account to which abuse reports can be sent. Use this parameter only if the institution has specifically requested that it be added. To prevent excessive clutter on the user talk page, and to make future changes easier, this template should NOT be subst:ed. The parameter for hostname is optional.
